Annes Chicken Chilaquiles Rojas

One of my favorite comfort foods from growing up in Tucson. It’s great for a potluck or party and you’ll get lots of compliments from your guests! This is a “roja” version but there is a “verde” style, too. Both are great and can be made hot or mild depending upon your heat tolerances or preferences. Serve with your favorite salsa, if desired.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large (10x15-inch) casserole dish.

Step: 2

Combine drained tomatoes and chipotle chiles in adobo in a blender and puree until smooth.

Step: 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in hot oil until brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute more. Add pureed tomato-chile sauce and simmer until mixture starts to thicken. Pour in chicken broth and stir in cumin, oregano, and salt; let simmer until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

Step: 4

Mix tortilla chips and tomato-chile sauce, folding carefully to cover chips completely. You may have to do this in 2 batches.

Step: 5

Cover the bottom of the casserole dish with half of the chip/sauce mixture. Sprinkle a layer of Mexican cheese and cotija cheese over top. Add shredded chicken to cover all of the chips and cheese. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with 1/2 of the green onions and 1/2 of the cilantro. Spoon 3/4 of the sour cream evenly over top. Spread with the remaining tortilla mixture then top with remaining Mexican and cotija cheeses. Cover with aluminum foil.

Step: 6

Bake in the preheated oven until mixture is bubbly and cheese is melted, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream, green onions, and cilantro.

Depriving yourself can lead to lot of eat , late-night snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and got eat , it is much necessary to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ). Meaning , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really wanted the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

When it comes to eat on evening , overeating or eating too much of the bad kinds of food will make lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is less than satiating not make leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night side dish even closer to sleep .
